[Q] HTC Desire Z Freeze During Standby Mode

Hi,
I just got a new HTC Desire Z Bell Branded (A7275) for my AT&T service. I "debrand" it using the debrand guide. I just noticed twice yesterday that when I put it in standby mode, I try to press the power button to turn off standby mode so I can get the screen to slide down to unlock the screen for usage. Well, it did not....no matter what I do...I cannot get the screen to get unlock. The screen is black as if it isn't on. I hold the power button, still nothing. Only way is for me to pull the battery out, put it back in and power it up. Is this common? What is the problem that causes this? Any help would be nice. Thank you in advance.

have you oc your phone at all? have you flashed a kernel? custom rom? and what guide did you use?

I used this guide to debrand my phone.
have you oc your phone at all?
Not a single bit, everything is bone stock regarding CPU.
have you flashed a kernel? custom rom?
I only flashed the one from the guide.
[ROM] RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e _26.03.02.26_M
what guide did you use?

Thanks for the fast reply and help, bahmanxda.

Tbh I am not sure what is the problem I got nothing ,the only thing that I can think of is if you are already rooted and s/off do a full wipe and flash the Rom again or try different roms if u like sense try virtuous 9.0 its really good.

There are some others with this issue. Unfortunately, the cause has not been found, or whether it is hardware or software related:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857584&highlight=pulling+battery
I've had this crop up myself a few times. I can say this:
Several times my Desire Z has powered off and could only be powered on after pulling the battery and re-installing. It did this twice within the first few days I owned it. Then it didn't happen anymore.
Maybe a week later I tried the Godspeed kernal (1 GHz) and SetCPU. No issues for about 2 weeks.
Then I tried CPU Tuner based on claims made by some users here that it is easier on battery life. Used a screen-off profile to underclock. The phone had the power off problem, 3 times in 2 days. Every time when the screen was off. But the random poweroffs did not start immediately after installing CPU Tuner, maybe 2 days later.
I uninstalled CPU Tuner to see if it would help (and it didn't seem to be improving battery life). Went back to Set CPU (have messed around with and without screen-off profiles). Its been more than 2 weeks, and no random power-offs.
None of this is conclusive, of course. Maybe the problem in my case was CPU Tuner, or a combination of the kernal and CPU Tuner. Maybe the things I've described are complete coincidence, and its some other factor altogether. But just thought I'd throw my experiences out there. Some claim Google Maps is the problem, but I have not found this to be the case. Or possibly some issue with the battery contacts, or the battery itself. Who knows?

Same thing happens to my Bell Desire Z. Every now and then it just decides to freeze and Only solution seems to be to take out the battery and then put it back.
Very frustrating.

Thanks for the reply, everyone. Strange it has not happen for the past 2 days now. I've read the other thread and still no exact detail on the cause of this. This is not good...especially it is my first Android phone and first HTC (bought it due to their reputation of quality made phones).

It happened twice within the first week of using the phone. Decided NOT to return the phone to observe it for a full month. During that month it happened every 3-4 days, always happens when the phone is not charging, and at the hour mark. Decided enough is enough and returned for a warranty claim 2 days ago.
During the one month, I rooted the phone after 2 weeks and flashed a custom ROM, but the problem did not go away.
There're people who aren't affected by this problem though.

I've the exact same problem here. CM 6.1.1 will just randomly black screen on standby. No response to charge when plugged in. The only way to reset is to pull the battery.
I don't think it happened on stock firmware. I'm now highly debating switching ROMs. It's getting annoying to remove the back cover every time I need to do a hard reset.

I think there is a thread in regards to CM and overclocking causing a screen on issue. But I think in those cases, the phone has power (LED and front buttons light up), just the screen can't power on. But adjusting any overclocking/underclocking profiles is worth a try.
Do you have SetCPU or CPU Tuner setup, and any profiles under those, such as underclock when the screen is off? I tried CPU Tuner for a few days, due to claims by XDA users of better battery life than SetCPU. I got 3 instances in 3 days of the phone not being able to power on (had to pull battery). I un-installed CPU Tuner, switched back to SetCPU, and haven't had the power on issue crop back up for almost a month now.
Given, I had the power on issue 2 times before using CPU Tuner, so it can't be the sole culprit. My only theory is that some combination of switching the kernel and SetCPU has solved the issue. Or it has nothing to do with those at all, just a coincidence, and is something else completely. Who knows.

It happened to me many time already. I still use stock htc desire rom and never rooted..

I've had it happen about 6 times, always requiring a battery pull. Totally stock other than being unlocked, not-rooted. But it hasn't happened for the last 3 weeks or ever since I stopped using juicedefender. Coincidence?

Desire Z freezes
Hi,
I also have some random freezes of my Stock Desire Z, I didn't do a thing on software or hardware side.
I run Android 2.2.1 Build 1.72.405.2 CL296256, provider KPN (Rabo Mobiel)
I got rid of the hangs after the upgrade from 2.2.0 then after several weeks it came back, only solvable by removing the battery.
I tried to figure out what's wrong and I think I have several clues:
- mostly some time after using Google Maps
- mostly when Wifi was on (it might be that the Wifi has limited connection and it screws up the data)
- after the reset I allways have updates from Market available
I can't remeber the Memory widget I ran, which I felt was having a good influence on the hangs.
I'm not happy with this behavioure, but cannot determine if it is hardware or software, it's not helping much that the phone just stalls , a reboot is irritating but less then a complete hangup when you don't know how long it has been in that status.
P.S. I don't run juicedefender
Cheers, Edward

I have STOCK G2 ROM.
S-off, CID, unlock via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855764
NO Cputuner or SetCpu (well I uninstalled them before these problems cropped up)
Used G2 for about a month and a bit no problems. Installed launcher pro then started to experience this problem. Coincidence? Not sure. Uninstalled and it did not help. Uninstalled several more apps that I recently loaded (skype, minimalistic text, Gtab Simi clock...) didn't help.
Wiped phone, nandroid backup to original ROM, restored using TB. Worked for a few days then just started happening again.
I also was using 2 chinese batteries I bought from eBay. Not sure if this has anything to do with it either.
// Just reflashed, HTC stock battery. Froze up within an hour. Too bad I bought this off of ebay, no warranty
// Factory Reset, restored apps and data with TB, still freezing

Hi all
I'm new to this forum (sorry, a newbie about to make a whole load of gaffs, no doubt), but I am at least fairly tech-savvy. I've had HTCs for years, right from the days of the 2000 vintage Compaq Ipaq!!
My wife & I bought two Desire Zs at Christmas, and it was therefore 50:50 which box was opened by whom. It appears I picked the dud, as I'm suffering from the issue described by all you guys, and in the other thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857584
For the sake of adding more evidence to this otherwise confusing issue, I thought I'd join the forum:
So:
1) The device is not modded in any way. Standard ROM from HTC, being used on the UK T-mobile network. Currently at Android 2.2.1, Kernel 2.6.32.21-g540976a, Build 1.72.405.2 CL296256 "release-keys". This was installed on Christmas day, over the air.
2) There has been no playing with processor speeds or memory management.
3) The first crash of this nature was either on Christmas Day or Boxing day (ie the day-after-christmas-in-England); can't quite remember now, but certainly after the ROM update.
4) I have had this occur irregularly, but in increasing frequency, since that date. I think I'm probably into double figures by now, but I've only started to log them recently.
5) I was starting to think that there was some correllation with GPS applications. The phone would die after using Google Earth, for example, but not immediately. It may be after two or three standby's that it would fail to respond on the fourth, for example.
6) I had a very bad day a few weekends ago where the phone died four times in a single day. I had been using geotagging-photos (in the standard HTC camera app)... plus location-based services such as Yell and Google maps.
7) I tried keeping GPS disabled, and to be fair, there was no evidence of it crashing at that point. But I use GPS too much to make this plausible for a long time.
8) I wondered if it was due to the motion of keeping my phone in my pocket, but it died over night on the bed-side table on Monday-Tuesday, where my last usage had been the Friend-Stream widget/app. GPS was on...
During all of this, my wife's phone has not shown any of these symptoms. Whilst she uses Google Maps, Google Navigator & HTC Navigator a bit, she generally keeps the GPS turned off except for specific odd occasions. Hers has not crashed in this manner...
About to contact HTC to see what their response is...

This has occurred for me regardless of app usage.
It can occur right after a fresh reboot after being fully charged.
// Wow, I was in the middle of sending a txt and it just shut off on me...
I really wish I had a warranty on this

Hey there.
I can clearly pinpoint the problem with my desire z to the GPS. In the first view weeks I used it regularly and my phone froze, but only when the gps sensor was not active anymore (and the phone had gone to standby once or more). It didn't matter which app I used. For a while now I haven't been using GPS and my phone runs smooth as hell.
@lost800: I suppose your problem has a different kind of nature.
I already contacted HTC (very good support) and they told me to send it in to repair. I need my phone for work at the moment and I haven't found time to do this.
Due to the very small amount of ppl having that problem, I suppose it's an hardware error.

Edit: Just out of curiosity, is there any meaning to the kernel version? Or has every mobile phone the same one?

Hello all, here is my input on this problem
My DZ has started freezing while I'm doing stuff:
* playing cards
* writting an email or a text
* using xda app
* ...
I never have GPS on. The frequency has greatly accelerated in the past 2 weeks but the weirder thing is that the last 3 times I remove sdcard and then put it back in to get the phone to boot, but it does not boot... it hangs on HTC logo for a long time (I've left it there for up to 15 minutes to see...) I eventually just remove the battery and from the phone and wait before trying to put it back in and boot...
Wait times required have varried from 5 minutes to several days.
I have observed this behavior on Stock 1.34.405, Virtuous 0.9, Virtuous 1.0.0 and back on stock 1.34.405 Today. I've wiped, flashed stock RUU nothing has helped. This puppy is going back for repair/exchange (it is 3 months old).

I called HTC support to see about getting the phone replaced. After explaining to the guy that it was freezing and then not rebooting when I pulled the battery out, the first thing he said was: "Did you install apps from the market ?"
Given that I replied by the affirmative he wanted me to test rebooting in safe mode and seeing if the freezes still occured before moving on to a replacement. He claimed that some market apps are not "properly coded and can mess up the phone"
I asked for and got the instructions how to reboot into "safe mode" (hit keyboard S key at HTC logo and stay on it while it boots)
In "safe mode" you can still install apps but they won't appear in the app drawer so you won't be able to start them (you can start them if they are on your home pages though ). No backgroud apps will run though (bbc, task killer ...)
Well I ran in safemode for 6 days and used the phone as I always do (work email, leisure email, web, video, camera, games, GPS, bluetooth etc...) and the darned thing ran perfectly. No freeze during those 6 days (the last few times it took less than 2 days to get a freeze).
I therefore decided it was time to test it again in "normal mode". Before rebooting I removed my task killer as for me this was "THE APP" that "safe mode" was really blocking from running on my phone...
Well It has been 2 days now and still no freeze. If it stays that way for another week I think I will have a rather good idea of who was the culprit...
Will keep you all updated and keep my fingers crossed.

Hi guys
An update:
HTC over the web-support were very helpful. Immediately they suggested that the device needed to be taken in for repair. In subsequent stages of the dialogue, they stated that the mainboard would be replaced.
A couple of weeks ago, I cleared down my device, packaged it up and waved goodbye to it (sniff...). HTC took it and...
!!DID NOTHING!!
It came back on Monday with an *old* ROM installed (1.35... If I remember correctly), and a statement saying 'no fault found'.
I've built the phone back up to where it used to be, including installing the over-the-air update to 1.72.405.2 (I need this as there's an activesync exchange bug in the old ROM) and within 24 hours, the device was unresponsive again
I have just written back to HTC to find out what the next steps are. I'd be interested to see if they suggest some debugging actions, like the safe-mode option, for example.
I've also asked them directly if their engineers have any clue what is causing this? Fundamentally, I don't see how any app should have the power to kill the device, however badly written it might be. That suggests insufficient controls/barriers in the OS.
Throughout this period, my wife's phone has continued to operate perfectly, even with some extra GPS playing to try to force a failure. So, we are now looking for any differences that could help to pin this down further. One difference is that she has never enabled the HTCSENSE.COM account on her phone, whereas I had. Perhaps there's some problem with the Phone Location functionality (in addition to the fact that I have to be in a yacht off the West coast of Africa for it to accurately show the phone's location). To test this, I've removed my HTCSENSE.COM account this morning.
Dwardo: I think your issue is slightly different, but the safe-mode info is useful.
Thanks
Andy

[PROBLEM] Random freezes/crashes on Desire

Hey,
I know theres a lot of threads about htc/android phones freezing and crashing/rebooting but none of them really described my exact situation. And since it's getting worse and worse and driving me crazy, I wanted to ask for help.
As the title suggests my HTC Desire keeps freezing and crashing (sometimes rebooting, too).
It all probably started shortly before I first rooted my device, following the great sticky noob-tutorial. First problem was, that sometimes my phone wouldn't wake up from standby, especially after I a missed call (rooting didn't solve that problem).
Some time later, now rooted and with a custom ROM, I noticed, that sometimes when I wanted to use my phone, it showed the PIN-screen, which obviously means, that it rebooted quietly (don't remember if this also happened before rooting).
A few days ago it started to completely freeze, when connected to the charger. Orange LED showed it was charging but no reaction to pressing any buttons or disconnect the charger.
Since yesterday it also crashes randomly in standby mode (can't wake it up) or e.g. when watching a video (just freezes the device, no reaction to button-pressing, screen stays on etc.)
now I am running the stability test with the charger connected - no problem for 1h10min til now...
The ROM I am running is the latest cool sense (problems also existed before the latest update)
No modification of CPU (I used to use SetCPU but since I thought that would cause the problems I uninstalled it -> no improvement)
What could be the problem here? (And how can I solve it, of course?)
Anything else than a full wipe, which could help? (that would be my last option...)
Thanks for helping...

it just happened again -.-
I was just backing up some apps with titanium backup and in the middle of scrolling through the list - freeze!
dunno what to do...
is this hardware or software related?...

Hello.
It would be pretty easy if it is a soft problem. This kind of problems are usually dealt with by installing another ROM and see if the problems persist. So if you want to try and eliminate the last option, go and install another ROM, it can be a Stock ROOT-ed ROM, Sense or anything.
The fact that you mentioned your phone was crashing even before rooting got me thinking it is a motherboard fault. I've read some threads in which people had the same problems, and in the end they all got to the same conclusion: motherboard fault. The only resolve with this is to get it to guarantee.
So first of all try installing another ROM and if the problems persist, you will need to install a RUU and see if this one eliminates your problem. If not then I don't know if there is anything else you could do, besides getting it to the guarantee.
I wait for your progress.

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
The funny thing is, that I didnt have those problems with this ROM in the beginning. Everything was fine, that's why I was using it the whole time. But as I said before, it became worse by and by... thats why I thought it could be an app or so...
that would be a recent list of apps: appbrain.com/user/marioiram/
Cannot even sync my newest list, because after freezing while watching a video, it froze again shortly after reboot... still getting worse

Try reinstalling the ROM or installing another ROM.

hm.. just when I was thinking about following your advice, my desire stopped freezing xD
no crash, no freeze oder reboot since my last post.
I even tried to force it by watching videos, playing games, connect to the charger etc.
everything is fine... strange.
Will see for how long

Well this is good news. Just keep in mind what you can do if the rebooting comes back. Hope it doesn't

Well, it did xD
Now even shortly after reboot. I'll try ROM changes as soon as I get home but there's something I noticed: it often freezes when it's supposed to display a whatsapp notification and sometimes it seems there's a problem with the sdcard (just bought a new one because my old one went nuts). Sometimes the notification 'sdcard was removed unexpectedly' (translated from German) is appearing, but after waiting a few minutes everything is fine again...
Well I'll try some stuff when there's time...

Screen lock/freeze issue with various custom ROMS

My phone seems to be experiencing random lockups/screen freezes. These seem to be more frequent when I have the mobile internet activate and i’m in a lower signal area or when I try and end a call through my cars Bluetooth handsfree system but they can happen any time, even sometimes when rebooting the phone, pulling the battery after a lockup has occurred and switching back on, the phone will reboot but freeze once again on the unlock screen.
I have not updated the radio, I am currently on version 5.11.05.27, as I have heard all manner of stories about bricked devices, but could this be the issue or is it more likely to be the sd card, or something else completely?
Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated as am going to break the back cover of my phone soon, with the number of times am having to pull the battery.

I've ordered a new sd card to see if that will make a difference. The last time I used CWM to create the ext partition, should I do it this way again when the new card arrives or try a different way?

try using gparted live cd to create a partition, but i do not think your problem lies with your sd card
have you tried another rom to see if the problem persists?

Ok, i'll try the gparted method next time.
Yeah the first rom I tried was Gingerburst, that seemed to be ok to start with but sense would crash quite often and then the screen freezes started, so I moved to leedroid and although sense never crashes, the screen lockups have continued. I have looked on various other rom threads and i noticed on the Insertcoin webpage there has been a lot of mentions about the latest kernals causing screen locks, so I might try Insercoins v1.1.3, which everybody seems to be reverting back to and see if I have any more success with that.

I have recently tried InsertCoin CM7/STOCK 1.1.3 and again I seem to be experiencing screen freezes which always seem to be happening when the signal is low or when travelling in the car so possible signal fluctuations.
Does anybody have an ideas on how to fix this issue, would flashing the newest radio help and if so what is the best/easiest way to do it? or could it be a kernel issue, if so what do you all recommend.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would have the freeze issue only in camera mode,otherwise its fine...probably some glitch in my phone,try full wipe n reinstall

I see that this tread is quite old, but i have the same issue with screen freezing. I was useing Leedroid 3.3.3 port on my HTC desire, for 2,5 month and then it started. Ive been trying everything form more than a month now (factory reset, installing aps one by one....) How did you solve the problem if you did at all? or what was the couse
Thx

Do you use software / scripts to control CPU frequencies / voltages?

Well i thought of this as well since the freezing started around the same time as i installed SetCPU (+/- a couple of weeks) but since the 2nd factory reset and installation of apps one by one i excluded the program but the problem still occures.
Also PowerAMP was a problem since i dont install it the freezing is not as ferquent (only every 2nd day not every day....)
I've read it somewhere that UV can couse the porblem, but i've never change that.
Also if i have more apps installed then dose my cpu required higher UV? If yes so then i can try to higher their default level.

HTC One X Messaging Issues

Hi guys, this problem just started to occur. I heard a notification sound from my phone which should have been the email tone but I was busy so i didn't check it. I noticed the sound was a little cut off at the end though. Then almost immediately afterwards, I got the sound for a new SMS. Then I checked my phone but I couldn't see any emails from before although there was a new SMS. When I tried to open the message, it would go into the Messaging app but then it would get stuck on a loading screen when I try to actually enter the message. When I go back to the main messaging screen, I can still see all my past messages, but each time I try to go into one, it'd get stuck on the loading screen. Eventually after maybe 3 minutes it finally went into the newest message i got, but when i tried to send a reply it would act like nothing's happened. The message i typed just disappeared. When I went back to the main messaging screen, I was able to see my message in the previews, but when i go back into that conversation, it would be stuck on the loading screen and now nothing is loading. This is really annoying. I haven't really used my phone in the last 6 hours and before that everything worked perfectly.
On another note, I'm noticing that during the night, my phone uses up about 30% of the battery just on idle. I have wi-fi turned on but is this normal? I only slept for 6 hours...by the way, the battery charging all seemed normal before but now I just plugged in my phone about 1.5 hours ago and it's only increased by about 3 percent...
My phone is not rooted and has been updated recently to the latest version. I also have Lookout Security installed. Any help would really be appreciated!
Update: I just noticed that my phone was blinking red and green one after another. After checking it seems to indicated that it's because it is overheating so i've now disconnected the charger and turned it off. But i can't think why it would be overheating. It's placed on a wooden table away from sunlight and any heat sources and like i mentioned earlier, I haven't really touched it in the last 6 hours so I was definitely not using anything intensive.

Did restarting fix the messaging problem ?
What apps have the highest % for battery use ?

Well, your phone probably was doing something intensive.
Maybe your antivirus was upset by the email or message.

@PhoenixFx: Yeah i did restart the phone which didn't help. I even turned the phone off for 30 minutes which cooled it down but as soon as i turned it back on, it started to get hot again. Whilst it was turned off i had it charging and then when it came back on i noticed the battery percentage increased much more so the battery was definitely fine. The process which used the most power was Viber which was at 9%, there were a couple of other processes but they were all under 5%. I even uninstalled Viber which didn't help. Looking at all the processes that were running, I couldn't see anything that was abnormal.
Well, your phone probably was doing something intensive.

That could be but I don't see why it would. The message was just a regular text message.
Anyways, I have now done a factory reset and it seems to be fine again. But if anyone has ever come across this or know the solution, please let us know so if it happens again, I'll know what to do and it would also help others who experiences the same thing. By the way, how much SHOULD the battery drain overnight with the wifi turned on?

You may have gotten a virus. I got a gmail virus that wiped a lot of my emails and wouldnt let me receive. I know this is about messaging but they are made by google so it is a possibility. I suggest a full restore and to run a virus scan with one of the play store's antiviruses.

I had the same problem with the messages. They wouldn't open or they would take a lifetime to load and open. Resetting and **** wouldnt work so I did a re-install of my ROM, wouldnt work, so I did factory wipe and started fresh. So far so good.

Yeah I'm not having any issues so far. Of course, it could've been a virus but I scanned my phone regularly with Lookout and also when it happened. Very weird. Anyways, if it happens again, I'll post back. Certainly hope not, this was the second time in a month I had to do a factory reset (last time was when I updated to Sense 4.1 and for some reason it wiped my phone and didn't even do the update. I had to make it download the update again for it to install...)

Ok, it's just happened again. First i heard the notification sound for an email, but then when i turned on the screen, i couldn't see any notifications. Now when i go into my SMS, they take forever (literally) to load. This is really getting pathetic. The amount of problems i've had with this phone, not to mention the constant "loading" screen when i press the home key. FFS, i never had this many problems with my old iPhone 3GS.
Update: I've just done a scan with AVG and Lookout and both turned up nothing. Most likely that this is not a virus related issue then.

this is happening on the stock 2.17 firmware also
no notifications, if you look in the messaging app, new messages are there
i cant understand how htc cant fix this? its been present from 1.28 fw

a gmail virus? care to explain a bit more, like the name of it etc? i did have some problems where it wouldn't sync with the latest version but is now working ok..

If you text a hell of a lot like I do then the problem is the phone is trying to load all of the message threads as fast as possible. Which uses a **** ton of your RAM, hence the 3 minute wait. I current have the HTC one x+ but the phones are basically the same. Here's what i did for the same exact issues.
For constant overheating:
1.Let your phone die.
2.Put your phone in your freezer and let it sit for a few minutes until its pretty cold.
3.Fully charge your phone
4.If you havnt already done so, download the latest update for your phone
5.Turn on and keep the battery saver option on. You do not have to keep the brightness low though
For messaging issues:
Go in your messages and delete all of your old threads to people whom you no longer converse with.

<< Internal Clock does not sync correctly / Time is also shown wrong >>

Hello there,
the Problem I have came suddenly, without Change the Environment or any other paramter of my phone.
The screenshot attached Shows everything:
The internal clock in the right top does not synchronise with the correct time.
When I restart the phone everything is fine for some hours, until the clocks start showing different values again.
It doesn't matter if I set the time manually or provide it by carrier.
I have read other threads in german Forums, as this Problem is not brand, but android related.
Anyone has a solution?
This Problem is disgusting, as I can not rely on the time, my Alarm clock or anything else.

Any News?

Wow, this really is a strange one. Did you try to look into Time settings? Maybe fiddle a little bit with it, change the timezone, automatic time update, you know, to force it behave a bit different and then revert it back to the original settings. Maybe it's a very hard to reproduce glitch or something.
Also, there's pretty good chance everything will be OK after a factory reset but I can imagine this is not always an option.

Have had this issue on my 5x and also a tablet I had. A factory reset has been the only answer each time.
